What’s Up Peekskill? Tattoos and bare butts!

Leave a comment

Feeling naked when you’re nekid? Perhaps a tattoo can give you some peace of mind on Nude day. You’ll probably get naked to get that tattoo on your butt anyway! And Peekskill’s own Speakeasy Tattoo is just the place to do it!

Thursday, July 14 – Happy Nude Day!

And perhaps appropriately, it’s also Pandemonium Day — It can get crazy with all those nekid people running around.

And to our French friends, who helped us during our own revolution, sorry about the Freedom Fries thing… Salut! Happy Bastille Day!

What’s Up Peekskill? Is it me, or is it finally getting warm?

Leave a comment

Okay, Peekskill, there’s nothing special going on. It’s not the first day of spring. It’s not mother’s day. It’s not the 5th. Not nothing. Just a simple weekend in May with warmer weather. But, since Peekskill Rocks, we can’t just let it be! So get off your lazy butts and come downtown where we got tons of live music, story telling, a film festival, an art opening, wine tasting, swing dancing, farmer’s market and more! Just another simple weekend in Peekskill!

Leave a comment

Seems like Cinco de Mayo is actually Fin de Semana de Mayo in Peekskill. But, honestly, who really needs an excuse to party? So get yourself downtown to celebrate the 154th anniversary of Mexico’s victory over the French at the Battle of Puebla. And don’t forget your mother — doesn’t she look fabulous? Not a day over 29!* Happy Mother’s Day to all you Moms out there!
